At Sound Plastic Surgery, we specialize in cosmetic surgery of the face. Our Seattle area surgeons have evolved their face and neck lift technique to deliver consistent, refreshed and natural results that will stand the test of time.
Our face and necklift technique addresses the main signs of facial aging, including cheek laxity, jowling, neck laxity and facial volume loss. There are a variety of facelift techniques that our surgeons customize for each patient. Facelift surgery is often combined with fat grafting, eyelid surgery, browlift surgery and chemical peels to create a surgical rejuvenation that is unique and tailored for each patient.
Facelift surgery is done using a variety of techniques, each tailored to the individual patient. A good facelift will improve the shape of the face, the neck contour and redistribute facial volume in a more youthful position. Facelifts incisions are concealed within the hairline and within the contours of the ear.
What is unique about the facelift procedure in Seattle by Sound Plastic Surgery?
The facelift procedure emphasizes the restoration of facial volume in regions of the cheeks and around the eyes. In addition, the Sound Plastic Surgery face lift procedure emphasizes a ‘clean’ and smooth neckline and jawline. In order to create these changes, our surgeons modify the position of the face’s underlying connective tissue (the SMAS layer) and then carefully re-drapes the facial and neck skin around this restructured foundation. Fat transfer techniques and neck liposuction are also frequently used to further enhance a facelift result for our Seattle area patients. We emphasize the restoration of a youthful facial shape, which is a hallmark of facial beauty, and can only be created by an expertly performed facelift surgery.
Some patients are good candidates for a short scar facelift, mini facelift and other minimally invasive facelift techniques. Other patients require a full face and neck lift to achieve the best possible cosmetic result.
How is a facelift by Sound Plastic Surgery done?
Our surgeons perform all facelifts with the assistance of board certified anesthesiologists in our onsite private certified ambulatory surgery center. For most patients, a ‘twilight sleep’ anesthetic is used for maximum patient safety during a facelift procedure.
The operation takes a few hours, depending on the additional procedures being done. At Sound Plastic Surgery, we frequently use neck liposuction, fat grafting, brow lift surgery, eyelid lift surgery and laser facial resurfacing to further enhance surgical results.

What is facelift recovery like?
Immediately after surgery, the face is fitted with bandages in order to reduce swelling. Patients sometimes report some minor pain associated with surgery. Any discomfort can be treated effectively with oral medication. Patients will follow up in our Seattle area clinic the day after surgery for drain removal and then six days after surgery for suture removal. While complications are rare, patients can minimize potential problems by carefully following the directions given after the procedure. Individual results will vary, however most patients are able to attend social functions without excessive bruising or swelling at two weeks after surgery.
At Sound Plastic Surgery, our goal for every facial cosmetic surgery is a refreshed and natural look that will last for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facelift Surgery
What can a facelift improve?
A facelift is designed to address common signs of facial aging, including sagging skin, deep creases around the nose and mouth, loss of jawline definition, jowls, and loose skin in the lower face and neck. While a facelift can create a more youthful appearance, it does not stop the natural aging process.
How long is recovery after a facelift?
Recovery varies from patient to patient, but many individuals return to light daily activities within two to three weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually improve during the first several weeks, while final results continue to refine over the following months. Dr. Sharma will provide personalized recovery instructions and guide you on when it is safe to resume exercise and other activities.
Will my facelift results look natural?
Yes. The goal of modern facelift surgery is to restore youthful facial contours without creating an overly tight or unnatural appearance. Dr. Sharma customizes every procedure to complement each patient’s facial anatomy, helping achieve refreshed, balanced, and natural-looking results.
How long do facelift results last?
Although the aging process continues, facelift results are long-lasting. Many patients enjoy their results for 10 years or more, depending on factors such as skin quality, genetics, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Maintaining a healthy skincare routine and protecting your skin from UV damage can help extend your results.
Am I a good candidate for a facelift?
Healthy adults who are concerned about sagging skin, jowls, or loss of facial definition may be good candidates for facelift surgery. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and want long-term facial rejuvenation rather than temporary improvements. During your consultation, Dr. Jyoti Sharma will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment options that best fit your needs.
